Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly. 5) Press , until the display shows F6-n or F6-y (with actually stored address). 6) Select , the display shows . Select , the display shows “ . Then select F4-y (audiocontrolled) on the master device. Only one fixture can be the master. 7) On the slave devices you must select F6-n and F4-n. The DMX light on the slave devices will start blinking. The slave devices must have address A001. Multiple Bats Set Up DMX-Set up Master/Slave Set up Fig. 4 Note : Link cables before connecting electric power 8 DMX Protocol The Bat 1 Digital can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in stand-alone mode. Control Panel When the indicator light is on, means the Bat is working Fig. 5 A. LED B. Display C. [ENTER] Button D. [MODE] Button E. Up Button F. Down Button DMX Control Mode The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller. The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it, the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.) DMX Addressing The control panel on the front side of the Bat 1 allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the first channel from which the Bat will respond to the controller. Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 3 channels. When using multiple Bats, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address of the first Bat should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second Bat should be 1+3=4(A004); the DMX address of the third Bat should be 4+3=7(A007), etc. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Bat correctly. If two or more Bats are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. ) For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu Controlling: After having addressed all Bat fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller. Note: After switching on, the Bat will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash. The problem may be: - The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Bat. - The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are swapped in the input connector. Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link. 9 Remotely controllable functions Static gobo-wheel This gobo-wheel has 15 metal gobos and open. Shutter/Dimmer/Strobe The dimming (0-100%) is provided by a simple mechanical shutter unit. This unit may also be used for strobe effect (1-8 flashes per second). Stand-alone Mode The fixtures on a data-link are not connected to the controller, but can execute pre-set programs, which can be different for every fixture. To set the program to be played, see the “Stand-alone setting “ ( menu ) Stand-alone operation” can be applied to a single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master/slave mode or controller mode) or to multiple fixture operating synchronously. For synchronous operation of multiple fixtures the fixtures must all be connected on a data-link and one of them is set as a master (master mode) and the rest as slaves (slave mode). The DMX address of all the and on that particular slave address only one fixture can be connected. To the slaves are assigned to fixture as the master or slave, see “Addressing” (menu ). If the master fixture resets or runs a test (program), all slaves will execute these acts too. You can’t play or edit any program on a slave, if the master is switched on and connected to the master/slave chain. Note: Disconnect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data collisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly! It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm ) into the input of the master fixture and into the output of the last slave fixture in the data-link, in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link. From the master’s control panel it is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain. Functions control panel The control panel is situated on the front of the base and offers several features.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by a skilled person once a year. The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded. 2. There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots. 3. Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing. 4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue. The Showtec Bat 1 Digital requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. The front PC lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the lightoutput very quickly. The cooling-fans and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly with a soft brush. Dust will cause the fan to stop and the device will become damaged due to overheating. Then the warranty will become void. Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power. 14 Changing the Lamp 1. Disconnect mains power supply. Loosen all 10 screws on of the cover. Gently pull out the lampholder. 2. With one hand holding the lamp socket, pull the lamp out of the lamp socket with the other. 3. Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 7. Replacing a Fuse Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below to do so. 1. Unplug the unit from electric power source. 2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. 3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out. 4. Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details. Troubleshooting No Light, No Movement - All Products This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following steps. If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. Response: Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the lamp, the fuse. 1. Power supply.
